Discover hidden tales of Utrecht that you won't find in any conventional guidebook. Did you know the city once faced plans for a motorway through its historic centre? Or that thousands of bats reside beneath an enigmatic UFO-shaped structure? These are just some of the intriguing stories shared during our tour.

Meet Bram, Julian, Marta, Mirte, Koen, Maxime, Rikke, and Holly. By day they work as journalists, educators, facilitators among other roles. In their free time, they guide you through Utrecht with passion because the city continues to surprise them—and they love sharing these surprises.

Our 5.5 km walking tour takes you on a journey through the lesser-known parts of Utrecht's city centre. You'll walk alongside canals, explore quiet courtyards, admire street art, and ascend the iconic Dom Tower—all without rushed commentary or headsets. It’s just a small group with engaging stories in an intimate setting.

After your tour, consider enjoying an optional Dutch lunch at one of our recommended local spots to ensure you leave Utrecht with more than just photos.

  • We have guides who lead tours for the love of it, not as a day job
  • Our small group sizes allow for genuine personal attention
  • You'll hear unique stories you won't find elsewhere
